Reflections on the "New American" Revolution

So Torture Is Legal? (washingtonpost.com): "connect the dots: They lead from the White House to the Pentagon to Abu Ghraib, and from Abu Ghraib back to military intelligence and thus to the Pentagon and the White House."
Anne Applebaum makes the point that neither the White House or Congress have an interest in investigating torture policies. So we are faced with the fact that our government has approved and implemented a policy of using torture on the grounds that under their new, twisted definition of the word and the law, what they are doing is not torture. And no one in power is standing up against it.
This is surely the triumph of evil, Mr. Bush, and it's you who are responsible. The deepest shame on you.
